Harrison, Steven C. – Fabricari #3

June 8, 2007

Website

Fabricari #3

This time around, in trying to figure this book out, I decided to spend some time at the Fabricari website. It turns out that Steven is pretty much sick of the whole cyborg idea (this comic did come out in 1999, after all) and is hoping to work on different things in the future. Huzzah for him, because this comic doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. This is the dullest issue yet, as there’s just not much going on. The cyborgs from the first issue get pieced back together, Myron continues to try to avoid getting killed (and ends up fighting with his friends much more than his enemies), and the side story with the Queen and the Prime Minister has already become tedious. It’s an OK story as a whole that might have gone somewhere with years of work, but it looks like he’s already burned out on the concept. Which is fine by me, as the man has some serious skill as an artist and I would love to see him tackle different ideas. There’s still enough here for people who love fighting robots to be interested in (and something that looks suspiciously like a graphic novel of this material at his website), otherwise I’d recommend waiting to see what else he has up his sleeve. $2.50

New review for Bighead by Jeffrey Brown. I also have some news about the website today, so gather round. I’m taking a few months off of work to try out a project at home, meaning that I’ll have a lot more time to organize things around here, tweak a few things that need tweaking and listen to any suggestions you guys might have. I’m also going to try to get a whole bunch of new stuff in the online store, so if you’re reading this and would like to sell stuff through me, let’s talk. I’m thinking that the usual daily routine for updates will stay about the same (barring days like yesterday where I skipped out, of course), but I might bump things up to two reviews a day if the comics keep coming. Just throwing all this out there for anybody interested in the “behind the scenes” goings on…

Sorry, the end of last week got a little crazy. New reviews today for Zod #8 by Jacob Steingroot and Or Else #3 by Kevin Huizenga. No, I don’t know why the page looks messed, but that’s the best result I could end up with. If I kept screwing it it was just going to end up worse, knowing my computer skills…
